Hello all!

Just found the site from M/A over here and signed right up. We have an 06 JCW/S since new that we really enjoy driving all over the place. have a long list od mods and a short list of planned mods, ok so it's not that short :eek:hmy:

Anyway, one of the next mods will most likely be the GT Tuning header, any thoughts?

Cheers
Mr. Jim

I can't help but think of the south park episode lol, sorry :lol:

The GTT Header is simply a Janspeed Header with TIG welds instead of MIG. I wouldn't fork out to get one sent over to the states when you have better/cheaper options those being mynes/obx.

Thanks for the welcomes!

That was a great episode, really shot fun at those boneheads from the "Jersey Shore" show.

Aren't all those with cat welded in place, where as the GT is removable?

Does it really get dark enough for those spots? :lol: Welcome to the forum dude!!! :)

In regards to the manifolds, all aftermarket ones will need either a sports cat or a decat pipe. Only the stock one has the Cat attached.

Hope that helps, go with Mynes or Janspeed!!! :)

Also appreciating the Misfits face airfreshner ;) :thumbup:

Yes, but some are welded on vs bolted.

Can't find a website for either, any links?

That second link is the first one I've seen welded.

janspeed is a bolt on so you can switch between decat and cat.

I'll pretend to know what the dragon is :p

You know I was thinking it looked odd but wasnt sure what it was about it :lol: It also looks like a different cat is being used to the normal Janspeed sports cat... it wasnt available when i got my janspeed - only the 'normal' janspeed+sports cat...

Keano, Jersey is in the US... shipping will be a bitch :lol:

Like i said look at OBX (Like £110 GBP on ebay!), Mynes yes you will need a welded in cat but a decent exhaust place should be able to do the trick.

No, it's the B&M short shifter. The shiftwell is Cravenspeed. The shifter looks long with the cover, when I had the oem boot it looked shoter.

I also saw the Janspeed at Lohen website.

I think the OBX is like you get what you pay for kinda thing. I could do the welding myself but rather have one that I can replace with it craps out :)
